A group of citizens sooth of Hunt¬ ley have formed a group calling tiiemselves, itte Rutland Environ¬ mental ft-oteotioo Association- The group reportedly is composed ot 125 persons Uving around the orp- ixxsed amiusement park, "nie pro¬ posed amusement park looated witii. in 2% miles of the Huntiey bound- aiy at the Northwest ToUway en- trsmce on Route 47 seeks to have 800 acres of land rezoned to oon- siruct the 50 millnon dollOT recrea¬ tional facility of Ta£t Broadcasting of Cincinnati, OWo.
The deveJopere plan ot make a theme park sdmilar to one in (opera¬ tion near Kings Mills, Ohio. The Oliio park is immaouiately land- scs«ied with flowers, shrubbery and rtees. It is k^ dean by hi^ school stuclents who are employed to pick up tix tiniest piece erf paper. The rides and otlicr reoreatiimal fadUi- ties at In with tiie natural beiawlty of the area ohMrvere have nated.
In November of this year tf>e Kane (bounty Zoning Board of Apptlelk heid a hearing to determine tfae zoidi^ of Itoe iwoperty. At the heai^ ig the small overetowded Rdtland Tavern Hall both Taft BrOBdcasting and lemdtnto wttee property bord¬ ered the park were giwn time to present their oases. Taft answered any and all questions to the satis¬ faction of ttie Board which voted in favor of the propesed park. M«n- l5ers (rf tiie R.E.P-A. were present at tiic meetiig. Some oarried pla¬ cards in an attempt to sway tiie iTOord,
Subsequently in December the Kane Counrty Board voted to table the oning question. The fwoposai wtis not voted on at tine January meeting eitiier.
On January 7<h the Rutiand En¬ vironmental Prcrteotion Assn, filed an injunction againat Kane County Board meinbers charging "I. Thai. their civa rights had been violated in being denied access to pubfic information; 2. That the Kane Coun¬ ty Board has vtotaibed State Law requiring ftfteon day notice of pub¬ lic hearing and 3. That tiie Board aiuthoriaed the rewriting of county zoning laws ti> aBow the Taft Oor- poration conqilete freedom in the p4»iiUng ot tiie 800 acre amuse¬ ment park three miles sooth erf Himtiey."
In a presB lelease bearing the name ad aiddress of Ray Bberiianlt, it is ^stated tiuit Uie R-E.P.A. feels that tbe park constitutes a menace to public health, creates a pubKc nuisance, adverseiy affects visabil- iiy, depreciates property values, et- fends he sense, endiangers physical •ind emotional help and inAerfenss with the employment of life. The same release accuses certain off- eials cf conflict of interest.
In a letter written to Edwin Rom- he, litaring the names of Everett McLean, Ray Bbertiardt and Frank- Un Schneider, offlkials were ac- oised of nmaking unflatiering state¬ ments as a personal affront to the three who allegedly were trying to obtain information about the pro¬ posed park. The same letter al¬ leges that a county official made tbe statement that n Europe the matter wo^dd be setied with a dule. The letter oonokides by stating that Iho two (Md noliting to provike the county ofliciBL
The group have hired a lawyer to represimt their interests.
